history

Týn nad Vltavou

The abandoned stretch of land between Moldau and Lainsitz probably came into the possession of the Prague diocese at the beginning of the 11th century . On the island at the confluence of the Hlinský potok with the Vltava, the diocese had a fortified courtyard built and a settlement built around it. In the period that followed, the settlement of Týn developed into a trading center thanks to its favorable location at a ford through the Vltava. Already in the middle of the 11th century a church consecrated to the Virgin Mary was built in Týn, which later was dedicated to St. Catherine was rededicated.

The first documentary mention was made in December 1229 in a description of the Dominium Týn by John II , who had visited it himself because of a church dispute. Pavel von Škvorec, brother of Olbram , can be traced back to the Burgrave of Moldautein in 1397. In 1601 there were 201 people living in Týn nad Vltavou. The main settlement focus was on the right of the Vltava, there were 106 houses in Nový Týn and 64 houses in Starý Týn. The Lesser Town ( Malá Strana ) to the left of the river consisted of 31 houses. On August 8, 1609, Emperor Rudolf II made Moldauthein a royal city . The Wilhelnie settlement was built next to the Lesser Town in the 18th century . Moldau-Thein was the seat of a rulership which, in addition to the protective and municipal city, also included 22 villages and shares in two other villages.

After the abolition of patrimonial rule, the city became the seat of the Moldauthein judicial district from 1849 , from whose territory the Moldauthein district emerged in 1868 .

Until 1960 the city was the capital of the okres of the same name . After 1980, the city was largely enlarged with new prefabricated housing in a new settlement in the northeast, as part of the construction of the Temelín nuclear power plant . The reason was the necessary demolition of the towns of Knín, Temelínec, Podhájí, Křtěnov and Březí, all of which were located within a two-kilometer exclusion zone around the nuclear power plant. Most of the people were supposed to move to the new district of Týn nad Vltavou. This was an offer from the state energy supplier ČEZ, which was given the rights to relocate the five demolished villages during socialist times. As an alternative, the residents of the villages were offered a small payment.
